The angular momentum of a system of particles is not conserved:

$A$ space station consists of two living modules attached to a central hub on opposite sides by long corridors of equal length $L$. Each living module contains $N$ astronauts of equal mass $m$. The mass of the space station structure is negligible compared to the mass of the astronauts,and the size of the central hub and living modules is negligible compared to the length of the corridors. Initially,the space station is rotating with angular velocity $\omega$ such that the astronauts feel an artificial gravitational field of strength $g = \omega^2 L$. Two astronauts,one from each module,move into the central hub. The remaining astronauts now feel an artificial gravitational field of strength $g'$. What is the ratio $g'/g$ in terms of $N$?
